So get yourself an iced tea and open a pack of yams, you're about to live the American dream in all of its madness.

Kim and baby North West go home?

If there were any doubts Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were going to struggle with parenthood – think again.

The biggest shock about Kim making her motherhood debut is she’s a natural. Kim has surprised herself with how easy she’s taken to caring for daughter North West after spending a few days at home, report Us Weekly.

The magazine spoke to Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin who said: “When I walked in to see her, Kim was holding the baby. I said, ‘Oh my God. You’re a natural.’ Kim said, ‘I know – it’s so weird!”

Long-time friend Robin continued: “The baby is beautiful. Kim keeps telling me how much fun it is to be a mom. She and Kanye are so happy."

A source has claimed the curvy mum “can’t believe how maternal she is on her own. Breast-feeding is working for her and she already feels she has bonded with Nori.”

Doting dad Kanye hasn’t “left North for more than an hour,” according to a family friend, but the little mole insists the rapper still hasn’t got involved changing diapers.

Though you’ve got to wonder how someone could actually verify that as fact unless the ‘source’ was the baby itself. Both momager Kris Jenner and younger brother Rob Kardashian have given their support for the controversial baby name which would appear to be a parody based on traditional compass navigation.

A family source has been blabbing to the magazine Us Weekly that it’s a load of tosh. “It was a front-runner for a few months. To Kanye, there is nothing higher than North and Kim warmed to it, she fell in love with the nickname Nori.”

But the little worm explains how the family weren’t quite as won over, saying: “Some of her family were like, ‘Are you sure? Are you definitely sure?’”

But Kim was adamant and it’s claimed she reckons the name is “chic” and her daughter is “already a rock star”.

The story adds that Kim is telling people she’s “taken a million” pictures of North, which is either a massive exaggeration or she needs to reassess her priorities.

There’s more talk across the pond that Kanye and Kim are going to wed soon. A Kardashian insider spilled: “Having a child brought them closer. The wedding will be very small when it happens. Kim’s isn’t worried about baby weight, she’s excited to get dieting but for now she’s in baby heaven.”

Meanwhile, another publication has contradicted the reports and claim Kim is under a lot of stress, is in pain and can’t breast-feed North.

The source told Star magazine: "Kim spent the week in a lot of pain, so she wasn't able to hold Nori very often. She also had a very hard time with breast-feeding - her chest was sore.”

The story adds that an Australian magazine has offered the new parents $3.2million for a big-money photoshoot with North West, which apparently Kanye binned off straight away.

It also alleges the rapper made momager Kris delete a picture of his daughter.

Meanwhile a source told People magazine "Having a newborn can be very intense, but Kim never complains.”

The family might be tweeting their sweet nothings and joy but Kourtney has remained tight lipped and has allegedly been raging with her sister Kim about her parenting.

A source told Life & Style that Kim “loves the buzz of taking 10 flights in three days and the various teams of people and luxury hotels, but all that needs to be put on hold for now”.

Apparently, Kourt was furious to discover Kim was planning on taking North on a European tour with Kanye so soon after the birth, the insider blabbed “they had a big argument” before adding she’s been “disappointed” so far.

Family fears for Miley?

Troubled singer Miley Cyrus is currently going through a tough time with her parents filing for divorce and her engagement with Liam Hemsworth appearing to be suffering.

An eyewitness has alleged Miley “snorted a white powder off the back of a toilet” at the Met Ball – attended by party loving model Cara Delevingne – in May.

It’s no secret Miley enjoys smoking the odd ciggie and recently said she thinks “alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana.”

A guest at the star-studded fashion event in New York claims to have seen Miley snorting something suspicious in the ladies’ room in full view of partygoers, report Star.

They quote – who Star claim – is a ‘gala attendee’: "I went into the bathroom and saw four girls trying to squeeze into a stall. The door was open, so people could see. Miley put her finger over one nostril, bent down over the back of the toilet and snorted a white powder off it. I watched her do it."

They quote another alleged witness saying: "It was so weird — she almost looked like she didn't care that people saw her!"

The damaging allegations come after she was named the worst female role model by parents, beating Lindsay Lohan .

Star was told by a friend of Miley: “She’s so desperate to be a sex symbol she’s going overboard.” Concerned pals reckon Miley is suffering heartbreak from her relationship with Liam and “she’ll go nights without sleeping, which is why she posts many of her bizarre pictures or videos on Twitter.”

Her family are becoming so worried by her erratic behaviour that it’s claimed they staged an intervention on June 17. Liam, Tish (mum) and Billy Ray (dad) “had a serious heart-to-heart with her and told her she needs to clean up her act.

Liam told her in no uncertain terms, ‘It’s me or the drugs,’” it’s reported. Meanwhile the ever-lolful Life & Style magazine quote someone in-the-know: “Miley is still very much in love with Liam — she'll do anything to keep him."

But Liam may need more convincing. "He's embarrassed by her and her wild behaviour," notes the insider.

Trouble and tragedy for Jen?

They just can’t get enough of speculating over Jennifer Aniston’s private life as OK! USA report the stunning actress was ‘on her way to marital and maternal bliss – but a big row with fiancé Justin Theroux and now he’s left’.

It was only last week they were reporting how the couple were preparing to wed and had purchased a lavish mansion complete with a chicken pen.

But sources allege the couple have been squabbling over Justin’s recent contract to work on telly series The Leftover.

Apparently it’s so bad friends have told OK! the couple are taking “a break” and say Jen’s “life is in ruins”.

The mole continues to stir: “The wedding’s cancelled, her man’s nowehere to be seen. Friends are worried that Jen’s closed off from everyone, and that she is dealing with a pregnancy, abandoned and alone. The last thing anyone wants is for her to be a single mum.”

The friend continues to tell the magazine: “There’s so much tension at home. She’s very irritable at the moment. They needed to spend a few days apart, they’re both miserable as hell.”

And to potentially make these rumoured matters even worse, Jen was snubbed by on-screen pal Monica and real-life friend Courtney Cox who held a spangled birthday party this month – and didn’t invite Jen.

Which we can all agree – if true – is a bit sad.

They say having children is one of the most expensive things you can ever do, mostly because the freedom of being a single non-child yielding human is priceless.

Suri gets super security?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are experiencing it first hand because, at the tender age of SEVEN, Suri Cruise is racking up a bill of $50K a week for 24-hour security protection, claim OK! USA. To put that staggering figure into perspective, that’s $2.5 million a year.

A little mole told the magazine: “Tom is never not surrounded by two rings of plain-clothed security ‘agents’ as he calls them. Money’s no object for them when it comes to the safety of their daughter.”

Not content with working in the gym for pumping biceps, the burly bodyguards have their eyes on a different set of guns according to the article. “These guys are highly trained. They legally carry weapons and keep guns in the trunks of Katie’s SUV limos.”

Inside the Pitt household

Brad Pitt has given a rare – and utterly fascinating insight – into his family life, telling InTouch magazine: “It's crazy, but I like the chaos.

"And Angie's just amazing. I'll lie down on the sofa when I'm tired but she just keeps going, and then I'm like, ‘Why am I taking it easy?’ and I'll get up and play with the boys and put them to bed.”

Speaking about getting a bit of quiet time with wife Angelina Jolie , he says: “Well, with a big family you try to have some toy-free and quiet zones, but you always have someone fighting, and someone else banging into a wall and someone calling for Dad.”

He admitted that he “can’t push personal things aside” when making movies and said his wife’s health “took precedence” when she underwent double mastectomy operation.

In quick-fire amazing facts, he says his favourite karaoke song is Jay-Z and Kanye West , and his nickname at school was Brad The Pitt-Bull.

Royal rage?

Camilla is alleged to have told Kate – who was apparently voicing her concerns over The Queen’s busy schedule – “When your marriage falls apart, don’t think you can walk away and take the baby with you. You’re carrying the Royal Family’s baby – not yours.”

The report continues that when Harry witnessed the (fabricated) altercation he gestured for Camilla to zip it.

And what’s even more staggering is the source says when word of the clash reached the Queen it made her determined to make changes to the laws to ensure Camilla never gets to the Throne.

It’s either the biggest jump to a conclusion of all time but Star report that Jessica Biel has demanded baggy clothes to hide a potential baby bump.

Jessica married popstar Justin Timberlake last October and now there is chit-chat in the mags that they’re going to be starting a family.

A source gossiped: “Jessica asked for bigger clothes to hide her stomach, she may already be pregnant.”

There might well be wedding bells for Jason Statham and super-stunner Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as an insider has told Us Weekly: “I hear he’ll propose soon. Their connection is very serious and physical,” which we think is meant in a Russell Brand kind of way, rather than a Chris Brown way.

In a recent interview Rosie confessed she spices up the red carpet duties by whispering “naughty stuff” to each other.

But Star magazine are doing their best to report the total opposite and say a witness spied Jason “knocking back shots, surrounded by gorgeous women and didn’t mention Rosie once” at a beach club in Las Vegas, and implied there was trouble in paradise. Who knows?

A friend of scandalous child star Lindsay Lohan has told OK! USA the actress is determined to never return to rehab – or even be arrested – ever again. The insider claims she’s deleting the phone numbers of her partying pals and will try to stay away from dating for a year.

Katy Perry fears her fanatically religious father is getting in the way of her love life, says Star magazine. A friend said: “Katy can’t help but wonder if she’ll ever find love with a good man.”

Perma-fit Channing Tatum has been moaning about his gruelling gym workouts to have abs so chiselled you could dry your clothes on, grate cheese with and probably make ice cubes in. He asked: “If they can make avatars blue, can’t they just CGI my abs?”

They’re one of the hottest celebrity couplings and they could be making things a little more official. Ryan Gosling has been having “secret talks with ring designer Neil Lane” according to Star, and girlfriend Eva Mendes , 39, has told pals she “wants to be engaged by the time she’s 40”.

We didn’t have Jay-Z down as a dad-dancer but hey, he’s got no rhythm unless he rhymes and he’s got an adorable 18-month-old daughter.

A witness at the VIP 10 anniversary of 40/40 club in NYC told Us Weekly: “ Beyonce ordered shots for a toast and told Jay, ‘You should be so proud’. They got caught up in the excitement and Jay took her on the dance floor. He failed to mimic her hot salsa moves. He just held her and swayed.”

Courtney Cox is dating her Cougar Town co-star Brian Van Holt and it’s OFFICIAL, this according to Us Weekly.

An insider – who may or may not be Phoebe – said: “They’ve been going out for about six months and acted like boyfriend and girlfriend on a dinner date in West Hollywood’s Chi Lin.”

It’s a good sign for the pretty actress who finalised her divorce with David Arquette in May.

It appears Jennifer Lopez is so in love with her boy toy Casper Smart she’s going to marry him WITHOUT getting a prenup, say OK!.

She did the same with first hubby Ojani Noa (string of lawsuits), with Chris Judd (sued and apparently got a $10million pay off.) and Marc Anthony.

It’s so sketchy that even Casper himself is allegedly trying to persuade J-Lo to protect her assets.

If you want to know how the stars live in Hollywood, then here’s a quick fire update from the VIP scene.

Leonardo DiCaprio was apparently spotted riding his bike after meal with a friend at Battery Gardens in NYC.

Meanwhile Ben Affleck was spotted tucking into a cupcake at the Stone Rose Lounge.

During the time Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton were supping wine at the Riverhead Project eatery. All we’ve got is Nandos. The end.

The biggest pressure of being a Spice Girl has to be living in the shadow of Victoria Beckham but it seems Scary has found something else to occupy herself with.

Mel B told Us Weekly how her dresses always fall apart – so much so, she carries a sewing kit in her handbag.

"I carry a little sewing kit because I've had dresses fall off before. And I always have safety pins too, just in case,” she said.
